Overall, not a bad draft for the Skins. They addressed some huge needs and hopefully some of these guys will help to strengthen the secondary. Here are the highlight vids of the guys we took in rounds 4-7:

Phillip Thomas, SS - Round 4
Chris Thompson, RB - Round 5
Brandon Jenkins, OLB/DE - Round 5 (no current highlights...these are from his jr. year)
Bacarri Rambo, SS - Round 6 (STEAL!!!)
Jawan Jamison, RB - Round 7
*Either Thomas or Rambo will be one of our starters when the season starts.

Solid draft by Bruce Allen and Mike Shanahan pimp.gif

Looking forward to see Thomas and Rambo playing together

I think both Helu/Royster are done.

Gonna roll w. Morris, Thompson, and Jamison.

That's power and A LOT of speed

I think I'm most excited about what Jordan Reed will do in the offense.
post #637 of 656
^Helu was good when healthy, but that hasn't been the case for awhile. I never liked Royster at all; he's slow and weak and I was honestly surprised he stuck around as long as he did. I will be severely disappointed if Thompson and Jamison don't overtake him. I read where Jamison declared early for financial reasons and his mom has breast cancer. Definitely pulling for him to make the roster.

In watching Shanny's PC after the draft he sounded very pleased with how it went. I dunno if he was just giving coach speak or what but the smile on his face makes me think he is pretty confident he got some playmakers. I do think they were planning on getting Terrance Williams in the 3rd if the Bums hadn't taken him but who knows.

You bastards better treat CT and B. Jenk well.

Rambo needs to learn to put the weed down.

CT will probably be the 2nd or 3rd RB (and see work on kickoffs)

Jenkins will be taking Lorenzo Alexander's place on ST.

Outside of Amerson - I really like the draft for the Skins.

Your DB coach(es) must believe he(they) can work miracles. Amerson was 3 levels below horrible this year.

If he can work said miracle, then it's a great pick.

You don't have to tell me laugh.gif

Going into the draft, he was the one guy who I didn't want them to waste a 2nd round pick on. My dude Blidi Wreh-Wilson was right there (as well as other DBs) and they passed on him. Since he bites on double moves so much, Amerson might just fit in this defense really well laugh.gif

I really think that Rambo will be the starter at FS this year with Meriweather getting the job at SS. Also, I think Tanard Jackson is still in the plans of the team laugh.gif Rah Morris loves him laugh.gif
post #643 of 656
D hall may play safety with Raheem you never know which dbs will play where but its lookin good regardless. And shanny just loves to draft late round rbs it's like an addiction lol
post #644 of 656
Wasn't Jenkins hyped as one of the next great FSU DE? Did he really fall off the map like that just cus of a Lisfranc injury? He looks good on tape...

Also I would have bet like $50 that dude was named Kris Thompson with a K. laugh.gif Dunno why. When I saw the pick I was like "Hah they spelled his name wrong. " Then after reading more articles and realizing I was wrong I was like (insert weebay.GIF here).
post #645 of 656
Thanks for the vids JJs

I like our safety choices. A little skeptic about Amerson. Looks and sounds like he might have D. Hall syndrome....jump the short routes get beat deep a lot.

It wasn't hype it was due to his production & he fell because of the injury and his workouts . he tailed off (Sack wise) a little his jr year (Tank Carradie & Werner had s little to do
W/ that + more double teams) but he also put on lots of weight on an effort to bulk & be better vs the run. he didnt have the same electric burst he had his soph year. Had he played this season he would have been a 1st/2nd rounder easy he finally regained his burst from his soph year coupled w/ the added size
post #647 of 656
^I see. Yea I didn't mean to imply that he was overhyped, I knew he was a legit player from watching him. I just meant prior to his injury you heard his name all the time and then after he went down it was just Tank and Werner. I forgot he was even in the draft til we took him. If he can come all the way back from the injury and stay healthy he will be a STEAL. Same with Thompson.

12 wins this season... at least.  As Bart Scott once said... "Can't Wait!"
 

post #649 of 656

6'3"... with speed.  That's why he got 13 picks in 2011.  I hope they scheme for him to have a safety over the top and free him up for taking risks... a few long plays will be worth the extra turnovers.

Agreed. I'm not down with the Redtails movement. If the Cleveland Indians, Atlanta Braves, Chicago Blackhawks, and other pro teams still exist then so can the Redskins. HTTR.

I couldnt agree more. There are high ranking officials in dc pushing this to the forefront b/c of an agenda. Poll conducted nationwide had something like 80+% in favor of the name.
post #655 of 656

I was going to be so pissed if they changed the Redskins name. That's my team, they had the name for many year so I would be real upset.
